How we handle window mastic in Barnet
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you have damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can help, whatever the surface.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Window mastic in Barnet: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor (about 3.5 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Barnet as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St John's United Reformed Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Grasvenor Avenue Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up

What else we do in Barnet
Signs you need window mastic in Barnet
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Letting a property close to New Barnet station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a London area like Barnet, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
